George Russell was left venting his fruꦛstrations at Mercedes afte🎐r he plummeted down the order after initially staying out of slick tyres for too long when an early downpour hit. 

Having briefly led the race, Russell, who🦋 started third, believed Mercedes had thrown away a potential podium with their strategic decisions. 

And team principal Wolff agreed, telling Sky F1: "I th🌳ink we stayed out catastrophically too long. 

"We got it 🥂completely wrong and it is annoying because the car had real pace.

"From there on, i𓄧t was just recovering as good as we could. 

"I would ♚rather have a fast rac💟e car and a mediocre result even though it hurts.

"It is bittersweet because the result is just really bad. It could ꧟have been - but that doesn’t cou🎃nt in this sport.”

Asked if he will personally review the mist🌊akes, Wolff replied: “We will review thoroughly. The situation is never one person in one department. 

“It is the communication between driver, pit wall, strateꦍgy, weather, all of us taking decisions. It was s🦩ub-par from everyone and that includes me.

“It’s good when it ꧋hurts. When it stings, it sticks.” 

Russell ended up finish✤ing 17th after late mechanical issues plagued his car, w𝔉hile Lewis Hamilton recovered from his disastrous qualifying to take sixth.
